ABSTRACT:
A clip-on heat sink assembly includes a spring and electrically-insulating braces. The spring is shaped to fit over a heat sink and a chip carrier package and engage with the braces which support the chip carrier package. The spring holds the heat sink in place and forces the heat sink and the chip carrier package together in order to maintain good thermal contact. An alternative embodiment includes a spring with the braces attached to form one piece.
